Methanetetracarboxylate

In chemistry, methanetetracarboxylate is a tetravalent anion with formula C5O4−8 or C(−CO−2)4. It has four carboxylate groups attached to a central carbon atom; so it has the same carbon backbone as neopentane. It is an oxocarbon anion, that is, consists only of carbon and oxygen.

Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

The term is also used for any salt with that anion; or for any ester with the C(−C(=O)−O−)4 moiety.[1]

The salts and esters are relatively uncommon, and their uses appear to be limited to chemical research. Sodium methanetetracarboxylate Na4C(CO2)4 can be obtained by oxidation of pentaerythritol C(CH2OH)4 with oxygen in sodium hydroxide solution at pH 10 and about 60 °C, in the presence of palladium as a catalyst.[2]

The anion can be seen as the result of removing four protons from methanetetracarboxylic acid, a hypothetical organic compound with formula H4C5O8 or C(COOH)4. This acid has not been synthesised (as of 2009), and is believed to be unstable, but its ethyl ester, tetraethyl methanetetracarboxylate, C(COOCH2CH3)4, is a specialty chemical and has been used in organic synthesis.[3]
